Removal of tetracycline from an aqueous solution using manganese dioxide modified biochar derived from Chinese herbal medicine residues.
Biochar (BC) derived from Chinese herbal medicine residues has been investigated for its performance as a potential adsorbent in tetracycline (TC) removal. In the present study, a chemical co-precipitation method was carried out to prepare manganese dioxide modified biochar (Mn-BC) to increase its sorption capacity. The properties of the modified biochar were characterized for further enhancing TC removal from an aqueous solution. Mn-BC was successfully synthesized and resulted in a much higher specific surface area, total pore volume and pore diameter. The sorption kinetics of TC on Mn-BC was described by the pseudo-second-order model. The sorption data of Mn-BC were fitted by Langmuir and Freundlich models. The study findings revealed a maximum adsorption capacity of Mn-BC (1:10) to TC was up to 131.49 mg/g. The adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. The degradation of TC was further enhanced by MnO Topics: Adsorption; Charcoal; Drugs, Chinese Herbal; Kinetics; Manganese Compounds; Oxides; Tetracycline; Water Pollutants, Chemical; Water Purification | 2020 |
Simultaneous removal of tetracycline hydrochloride and As(III) using poorly-crystalline manganese dioxide.
Simultaneous removal of antibiotic tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) and As(III) by poorly-crystalline Mn dioxide was investigated. TC and As(III) can be effectively oxidized and removed by MnO2. High concentrations of TC and As(III) competed with each other for oxidation or adsorption sites on MnO2 and thus affected their removal efficiency. The intermediates and products of TC after reaction with poorly-crystalline manganese dioxide were identified by LC-ESI-MS (liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry), and the decomposition pathways of TC by MnO2 were proposed. This study is helpful for understanding the importance of environmental Mn dioxides in the decontamination of combined pollution by organic pollutants and metal(loid)s.
